Pickpockets

[BettyMwwaahh]

in recent updates they added a bunch of new options for difficulty. anything to stop the worst anomalies in the game, PIckpockets, from existing? or a way to actually stop them from stealing at the very least?

there is an option under "Gameplay" that when enabled, will not let any anomaly grab onto, or steal any pieces off your car.

One of these gits stole an entire ion generator straight off the roof. I was driving along trying to avoid all that green ♥♥♥♥ all over the road and was like "What was that noise? Bah, must be the wind."

I only noticed it was missing when I got back to the garage.

thank you for the info! So even the bouncing bunny enemies and other stuff like that? that might be too much. i could deal with them. thats what the shield is for so im fine with them doing their thang. i guess i could just enable the option when im going to an area with pickpockets but idk

yea i started and stopped playing the game 3 times. each time forgetting why i stopped UNTIL i run into a Pickpocket go, "oh yea thats why i stopped playing" lmao
this is like a 9.5/10 for me but the Pickpocket makes me hate the game. ruins entire drives for me

"You wouldn't steal a car."
Pickpocket: "No, but I'll 'ave that ion generator ;)"

If you throw a flare or something else for the pickpocket to grab first, it will stay out of your hair for a while. I haven't tried shooting them directly with a flare gun yet but that's only because I assumed it wouldn't do any good.

sure but during the escape sequences theyre almost unnoticeable and you dont exactly want to stop and throw a flare even when you do notice them. the shield should just block them like it blocks all other anomalies that try to grab at you
